Anemone socks

It is wet and cold here today but I am happy: the fire is glowing and I have hand-knitted socks on my feet! These socks were finished in June and are the Anemone pattern by a New Zealand designer, Wei S. Leong. The yarn is Knitsch 100% merino sock yarn which is from New Zealand merino and hand-dyed in New Zealand too. These are my favourite hand-knitted socks so far because I got the fit just right!

Lovely things:

I have received my second package for the Happy-go-knitty 4 ply shawl club. This time the yarn I received is a gorgeous plummy colour and I'm making good progress, just working on the lace border. I have been visiting the Retro fair occasionally and I found some lovely handmade project bags (you can see the spotty one with my knitting) and a cute little shelf. I am hoping to get this painted and then find a home for it.

Thanks for stopping by here and for your comments, I always appreciate them. Wendy xx

I love knitting socks. I have knitted "Hermione"s everyday socks" quite a few times.Anemone looks really lovely. Will you paint your shadow box or use scrapbooking paper?. It should be fun. Look forward to seeing what you do Wendy.
